Such a joy to see all the beautiful art too and that beach looks gorgeous (especially to one who has a skiff of snow on the ground today). Congratulations on your gift. I am going to visit Barb's site. Great pics of the cockatoo - we have them only in cages in my part of the world. They are lovely birds. Thanks for making my day as always dear friend. Hope all is well with your folks. HugsDebbie Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168646638438558551noreply@blogger.com
